Thanks man. I can't be too irritated: I've been on the other side of the situation.

I'm pretty disappointed, but it is what it is.

Didn't get the job. I was brought in last week for a first in-person interview, and they hired somebody yesterday, so I'd say that they already had somebody chosen, and were just wasting everybody's (theirs and mine) time due to organizational rules. This would have been an exceptional fit, and I honestly thought the phone call was going to be setting up an interview for the next round.

I told you that it was probably reparable.

Well, it's not a good sign. It's probably reparable.

The point was that their demo system is impressively ill suited to the job.

Damn. That's almost impressive!

An hour of random pattern would probably have cleared up the image retention, but I believe the B7 is an upgrade, so fist-bump.

Happy birthday, Tom!

Well hell, 180 degrees will do that, if you leave it on long enough.

That would be a good temp for anything you want to cook rare.

But free is cheaper!

Wait, batteries are free? Why have I been spending money on Eneloops?!

I'm assuming it wasn't kitchen bouquet flavored frozen yogurt.

It's made like the seatbelt for an S-class, but on a smaller scale.

The Omega leather straps are very nice. When I bought this NATO, I really had to convince myself to spend the money (I paid $192 with tax and shipping, MSRP is $280, which sounds crazy for a NATO strap, right?). I couldn't be more pleased. It's at least 10 times better than the NATO straps I own that cost 1/10th as much.

Something I ordered a million years ago arrived today.

I am dead: only a ghost would suggest you put vegetables on a grill, after all.

Put some veggies on that grill for me, Stretch.

Aren't we all?

It really depends on the implementation, these days, I'd say. johnwmclean mentions the NAD M51, which has the same volume control as the NAD M2, and the NAD M2 is brilliant sounding.

You could probably have rented the tool at AutoZone inexpensively.

sounds good to me, man.

Did you use a curry base, or did you make it from scratch? This is very similar to things I make, during the week. If you had told my 26 year-old self that 36 year old Jacob would use curry base, he's have scowled. 26 year-old Jacob was pretty dumb.

That would be an awesome speaker for your Eyes Wide Shut style cult fuck-mansion, for the days when the pianist can't make it, or whatever.
